Re: Request: Browse BOTH section and category relatively

does <code>/section/?c=categoryname</code> not work then?

it works for me.

I think it is how to get textpattern to generate this automatically from a txp:tag, and that would take a plugin, no?

Re: Request: Browse BOTH section and category relatively

/section/?c=categoryname works fine in a link, but not in the Popop list.

I would like 2 popup lists beside each other, one for sections, one for categories. They just work like Either “c” / Or “s”, and I would like to have them work together, if on chooses both.

If you choose “flash” from the section-list and nothing from the category-list it should bring you to the flash section. But if you choose “tutorials” on the category-list, it shout be combined whith flash to show only the flash tutorial articles and not the whole tutorial category instead -

You see? That way Popup lists could end up beeing the only navigation tool needed for the site..

Yes. We’ll see if it shows up in the next release, otherwise it’s a plugin.

Re: Request: Browse BOTH section and category relatively

I haven’t given up yet, though I know categories and sections are different sets of hierarchies.

I will need some kind of under-section – or the ability to undercategorize. Otherwise I’m going to drown in categories.

I can now sort of list categories for a given section. (half-dynamicly)

If I create a new category to match each section, in order to use it as a parent-category – they all list up in same level whith no hint of the structure.

Is that going to be easier in the future?

Here is the form I use for popups:
<code><table border=“0” cellspacing=“0” cellpadding=“0”>
<tr> <td><txp:popup type=“s” /></td> <td><txp:popup type=“c” /></td>
</tr> </table></code>

Does anybody know som PHP to enter just before c, and s, so that they can “include” each other if one wants to?
Or a plugin of course, if I’m not the only one needing this … (looks a bit like it!)

Re: Request: Browse BOTH section and category relatively

I would like to get the same thing.

e.g. If I am in my blog section (?s=blog) and select a category from the popup list, it will take me to mysite.com/?c=art – but I really need it to be: mysite.com/?s=blog&c=art

Re: Request: Browse BOTH section and category relatively

casret, keavy, does the asy_category plugin not do what you’re suggesting?
